If it's uncheckered and straight stock, that would make it a 99F. “The Savage 99 Pocket Reference”. All models and variations of 1895’s, 1899’s and 99’s covered. Also dates, checkering, engraving..

Octagon barreled would be an 1899B, which ran from 1899 to 1917 when it was discontinued. The 1899A became the 99A and 99B in 1921 - 99B being the takedown version.

Ah yes, I forgot that they reused the B designation.

I think it's a 20s-era 99F. I have a 1929 99F in 303 and I'm pretty certain the front face of the receiver is stamped with an F. You should see it if you take the forearm off.

On page 44 of my book, the section covering the introduction of the 1899H I say, "the sight blade was held to the base with a small screw." I believe that mistake will probably get me 40 lashes. wyo1895 With Savage never say never.

No lashes, lol. I think many of us think/thought that both pinned and screwed were used. See my post I started today on this.
